Mine would be:
1. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Rebels:

2. Lynyrd Skynyrd live, Free Bird:

3. Outlaws: Green Grass and High Tides:

[Drum]

1. Fun theme for a thread

[MarineCombatEngineer]

2. Thanks.

As you can tell, I love a wide genre of music, especially live music.

[OAITW r.2.0]

3. Does Little Feat count? Sure sounds like it.

A young Bonnie and EmmyLou providing context.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

4. Yes.

Saw them in Santa Barbara in the 80's, they put on a great show.

[AZSkiffyGeek]

5. Allman Brothers, Little Feat, Drive-By Truckers

[Bristlecone]

6. I'd throw the Allman Bros in the mix

I think Eat a Peach is one of those albums that in its entirety, is just flat out complete.

7. Eat a Peach is a great album, I have that on a thumb drive and listen

to it often.

8. Molly Hatchet, Allman Bros., and The Outlaws

Fall of the Peacemakers is jaw-dropping

[MarineCombatEngineer]

10. I'd forgotten all about Molly Hatchet,

I got to see them in Las Vegas in the late 80's at the Sam Boyd stadium, what a kick ass concert.

14. They were damn good!

I'm not a huge fan of the southern genre (although there's a lot of good music in it!), but Molly rocked with the best of 'em. May they RIP.

9. Black Oak Arkansas, The Marshall Tucker band and Skynard. n/t

[MarineCombatEngineer]

11. Definitely Marshall Tucker.

[Lochloosa]

12. Govt Mule and Tedeschi Trucks Band and Widespread Panic.

15. Wow!!!!

Great choices, loved all 3, even though I've never heard of them.
Luvin DU for the info.

[Lochloosa]

17. Wow!! It amazes me how many people have no idea about Govt Mule.

Warren Hayes was the lead guitarist for Allman Brothers for the last 20+ years. Govt Mule is his band.

Derek Trucks stood next to him for 19 years. And his wife Susan Tedeschi has two Grammys.

Widespread has been selling out shows for over 30 years. They are from Athens. John Bell's voice is a musical instrument.

[RainCaster]

13. 38 Special, Marshall Tucker, Allman Bros

Not so easy to add songs when I'm on my phone...

[ProfessorGAC]

19. Funny Thing About 38 Special...

...is that their 3 biggest hits were written completely or in part by guys from Illinois.
And, not southern Illinois. One of them is from Oak Lawn & spent a lot of his life in Frankfort, the other was from near Brookfield Zoo. I know both of them. Peterik & Sullivan.
The band was southern, but their biggest song were from Chicago.

[Silent Type]

16. Cowboy had one really good album.

[LA Blue Bengal]

18. I gravitate to some later bands

The Black Crowes, Drive-By Truckers, and Allman-Betts Band (sons of the original Allman Brothers members). I’d also add a couple of honorable mentions for bands that have the sound but aren’t from the south.
Ghost Hounds from Pittsburgh:

Law and Order from New York City:

[Swede]

20. I would add the Kings of Leon to this list.

This is a great thread, by the way.

[Different Drummer]

21. Allman Brothers, ZZ Top, Lynyrd Skynyrd.

[Danascot]

22. You posted my list

so I don't have to.
